My first solid food

Yesterday for lunch,Nicole had her 1st taste of solid food after 6.5 months of drinking Mummy's milk exclusively. We gave her Eu Yang Sang Brown Rice with Si Shen Powder plus Po Po's grinded Ikan Bilis powder. She loves it ! and I am surprised that she gobbles everything down within 5 mins without making alot of mess. Unlike my two elder kids who had their first solid feed at about 6 mths, their tongue will initially reject the spoon as a natural reflux.

Good baby ! Motivated mummy is giving her mash pumpkin plus rice porridge tonite.

Seeing Double ?

Quiz time : Are these two photos taken on the same baby ?

While flipping the old photo albums, we realised that Naomi's baby photo looked so much like Nicole's photo shot at 3 months. The smile, the mannerism looks so similar...alot people thought they were two photographs of the same person.

Answer : Top is Nicole at 3 months, Bottom is Naomi at 2.5 months.

This year Chinese New Year is especially special to us for two reasons. 1) Staying nearer to my sibilings' and my mum's house means that reunion dinner, visitation by relatives and gathering of my family members are held in my home. This is good as it means more bonding time with my sibilings, nephews, niece.
2) New Addition to my family i.e Baby Nicole who brings joy to our family.

Staying near my mum's house also mean that we go visiting together in a group. Today we went to two of my relatives' homes for visitation , much to the delight of my 3 kids (yes, even baby Nicole is very excited too with her two chubby legs kicking away). The drinks and the new year goodies are just like a buffet spread to them..eating without any inhibitions.
